Veggie Stand

Instead of a lemonade stand for the kids in these last weeks of summer, try a veggie stand. Set out produce from your garden in your yard and watch it disappear! This is a great way for young children to earn money since they don't have to man the stand. Simply put out a change container made from a coffee can or shoebox for the honor system. If your child is raising money for a specific cause or charity, don't price your produce, just make sure your sign says "donations accepted" with an explanation of where the proceeds will go. It's so much fun for the kids (and adults) run outside to check the money box!

*Some examples of things from the yard to sell are: dried lavender, dried hydrangea, cut flower bouquets, herbs, pumpkins, tomatoes, and other produce.
